Great story, Chris. I saw the Talking Heads at CBGB in 1976, 1977. Just saying. Then, great friends of mine moved to NYC around 1985 and played many times at CBGB, befriending Hilly. RUDE BUDDHA. A couple of them were PhD candidates in Religious Studies. 3/4, if not all of them, dead from drugs by the mid-1990s. Amazing the ones who survived for twenty or, my goodness, fifty years!!

Oh, wait. I was in love with Debbie Harry before Tori Amos. I have an unwritten screenplay that starts off with "The Hardest Part."
